Creating interactive web forms

[Glenn Peterson]

Hi Katie -

EngagedPatrons.org has been creating custom interactive web forms for 
libraries for over six years. See an example of an ILL form here:

http://engagedpatrons.org/bellingham/patronrequestform.cfm

Forms and your data are hosted in the cloud providing reliability and ease 
of use. EP is founded and operated by a librarian with over 30 years 
experience working in and working with libraries. Contact me for more 
details.

> Hello!
>
> I'm new to this listserv, and I hope that reaching out in this way will 
> help me stay abreast of the best emerging technologies for libraries. 
> Also, I need to pose a question to this community!  My library is in the 
> process of creating interactive web forms for typical library requests 
> like interlibrary loan, instruction request, instruction evaluation, 
> research consultation, etc.... I am looking for a good web form builder, 
> but my search is complicated by the fact that we have lots of specific 
> functions we want our forms to have.  For example:
>
> 1.  Multicolumn questions (instead of just one question per line in one, 
> long column, which is like many of the open source form builders).
>
> 2.  Form must have query-capable database "behind the scenes" where all 
> information is collected and displayed.
>
> 3.  All submitted information should be able to be in a printable form, or 
> be converted to one.
>
> 4.  Forms should be web-based and preferably should email creator of form 
> when form is submitted.
>
> I have found many open-source and pay form builders but have yet to find 
> one that has ALL of these functions.
>
> Can anyone please pass along experiences and/ or recommendations for form 
> builder sites to me?
>
> Thank you!
